The story
Opened in December 2018, Mott 32 at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas holds the distinction of being the brand's first location in the United States — its sister restaurants operate in Hong Kong and Vancouver. The concept centers on a diverse collection of regional Chinese cooking, with Cantonese cuisine at its heart alongside dishes rooted in Szechuan and Beijing traditions. Dim sum, Peking duck, and a broad range of signature plates define the menu, available across lunch and dinner service.
Designer Joyce Wang conceived an interior that layers industrial New York references over traditional Chinese motifs — a combination that produces something genuinely unlike any other dining room on the Las Vegas Strip. The entrance is marked by a grand chandelier assembled from hundreds of metal chains and rippled glass shades, a signature fixture shared across all Mott 32 locations worldwide. Beyond the main dining room lies the Boom Boom Room, a more intimate enclave where a feather-adorned chandelier, copper tiles with a warm golden cast, and onyx panels give the space an entirely different personality.
One dish has become the standard-bearer for the Mott 32 experience: the apple-roasted duck. The preparation takes 48 hours, which means it must be pre-ordered — a detail worth knowing well before your reservation. It is the kind of dish that shapes how a meal is remembered.
The accolades surrounding Mott 32 are substantial. Forbes Travel Guide has recognized it, Desert Companion named it Strip Restaurant of the Year, Wine Spectator awarded it a 2020 Best of Award of Excellence, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal ranked it a 2025 Silver Winner for best Chinese food in the city. For Cantonese cuisine of this caliber in a resort setting, the recognition is consistent and well-earned.
